Bit the bullet and gone for a full restore, worth every penny methinks looking at results.

Hello there, hell no, the to-do list goes on!

• Repair rear of sun roof tray - all of them rust there
• Fit all the new bushes and struts
• Fit the Airtec Rad and Intercooler.
• Trace a faulty wire from cigarette lighter to fuse box and remove as this takes out the rear light cluster fuse when they the insulation begins to degredate.
• Do a second fitment of the front end as a few items need realigning slightly - nothing major
• New front tyres
• Make a new roof liner and refit the interior properly

Basically want to get the car ready to be used daily again as well.
So far I have had the whole of the bodywork both external and internal from top to bottom replaced, renovated and repainted. But hell, the car looks hot now after all the hard graft and wad of cash spent. But, its still a fraction of the cost of a new RS Focus, which are pants! lol
